Don't sweat the small stuff is right. This is his way of bonding with the animals; giving them food. You should be happy he loves your pet. Don't raise your pets so that your friends will think they are the best pets ever. By the way, aren't Cocker Spaniels the most submissive dog ever? Do you want hubby to be a Cocker Spaniel?
They've been doing this for 10 years; and you come around and want to change it. Sounds like you want to be alpha dog of the whole house. |
I don't get why everone is being so critical of me. I have done nothing wrong here. I am not trying to change the way he and his dog are. my biggest conflict is that I am not going to ask him to change the way he is with his dog, I simply want to ask that he not give Daisy and Maggie treats every time they go outside. The conflict is that if he is giving Rex treats but not the others, that does not seem fair. and I don't know how to go about this. that's it. bottom line. what is so wrong with that? I am not trying to be alpha over the whole house. in fact, my husband has more say so over stuff than I do. He manages this house from top to bottom, from financial things to how we decorate the house. I simply don't want daisy and maggie dependent on treats. how are you guys turning this into me being a control freak over my husband? I just dont get it. funny thing is that I posted this same thing in a much smaller chat group that I have been a part of for a long time and I didn't get the same response I got here. I got nothing but love, encouragement, and advice. all you guys want to do is make me out to be the bad guy. and all I am trying to do is find a peaceful resolution for this.
Now, I have always loved this site. I have learned a lot, and met a lot of great people here. but this is just sad. I come here for advice on how to come to a peaceful resolution to a concern of mine and all you guys can do is analyze my marriage...which you know NOTHING about...and cut me down at the knees. who are you to make such judgements? are your marriages so perfect? are your houses so "in order" that you can pass judgement on others that are simply seeking advice?
what it must be like to be so perfect. congratulations to all of you!!!
